INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb extra firm or super firm tofu
• 6 tbsp cornstarch, arrowroot, or tapioca starch
• 1/4 cup plant milk

BREAD CRUMB MIXTURE

• 1 cup panko style bread crumbs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh minced parsley

BUFFALO SAUCE

• 6 tbsp (90g) red cayenne pepper hot sauce, ideally Franks RedHot
• 3 tbsp (35g) vegan butter
• 1/8 tsp granulated garlic

• TO SERVE

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 425 ºF and lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet.
2. If using extra-firm tofu press out the extra water: Slice your tofu into 6 width-wise slabs and wrap in a lint-free towel or paper towel. Place some weights over the wrapped tofu, like a heavy cast iron skillet or books atop a baking sheet. Let drain for about 20-30 minutes before continuing.
3. Cut your tofu into 18 ‘wings’ or ~1/2″ sticks. Cut the block of tofu into 6 slices width-wise if you haven’t already for pressing, then slice each of those slabs into 3 slices lengthwise.
